Funny how Askeladd is telling this story to Thorfinn as a lesson on how to seriously plan someones assassination. And yet Thorfinn follows in the footsteps of Thors, and doesn't need that info. Meanwhile Canute is the one who learns from it, as he poisons and schemes his way to the top.
Not to mention also that after this speeched confrontation, Askeladd secretly killed Canute's mentor, Ragnar, with the established intention of forcibly causing him to finally overcome his insecurities and let him get the necessary confidence in order to become later a strong minded and resolute leader of an entire nation.
Also, Thorfinn, while not as experienced a fighter as Askeladd at the time, actually manages to get the upper hand when they fought at 100%. Thorfinn was faster, smaller, more energetic and knew Askeladd's movements. Askeladd taunted Thorfinn, throwing Thorfinn off, and used Thorfinn's rage as a weapon to bring out ill-planned and obvious attacks. Thorfinn, a somewhat fair fighter, would fall for it time and time again. If he were more aware of it, he'd calm his mind. Or if he couldn't, should have killed Askeladd while he's sleeping or taking a shit. Askeladd, a masterful tactician, realized he couldn't beat Thors using conventional means and used Thorfinn as a hostage.
@@phillipmoses2513Using Thorfinn as a hostage was never part of the plan, though? Askeladd just saw an opportunity when Bjorn acted of his own accord and took it, like he usually does. Thors would have been dead regardless of someone being taken hostage.
@@KAIisMYPROPERTY It wasn't, but it became the plan. Askeladd thought he'd be able to outwit Thors, it didn't work because Thors combative experience and ability surpassed Askeladd's ability to use irregular warfare.

I think he DOES know that - he emphasizes that at that point he realized the fictional Artorius would never come to save them. It was he, Lucius Artorius Castus, that needed to save his people
Artorius is a symbol of hope, just like Vinland and Heaven. Askeladd, Canute and Thorfinn all try to make that dream a reality for their respective people...
The way Askaladd honored his mother still even after her death made me love his character….as an older man you still couldn’t speak ill of his mother without the possibility of being beheaded 🔥🔥
objectively he did a stupid thing, he killed the person who, despite the fact that he was a bastard, greeted him as his real son and made everyone respect him, he gave him everything and future just to be killed because he attacked his insane whore mother.

For the morals of that time, being an illegitimate wife could be considered as being a whore, so yes, I called it something that could be rightfully said about her back then.

Thorfinn refused to kill Askeladd while he slept, wanting to get revenge with honour, it being his only goal. Askeladd killed his father in his sleep the first chance he got so he could inherit his wealth, mixing his revenge with his goals, not caring for honour. Cool note

Yeah, very interesting scene. Many people here think that Askeladd acted correctly. There is no clear-cut answer, but just take a second and remind yourself of what Askeladd turned into. He led the same Vikings, which he so much despised. He became a barbarian and worked for slave traders, such as his uncle Gorm. This story just shows that the spiral of hate and vigilante revenge only fuels the emptiness of those victims. Thorfinn is a prime example. He lost his life purpose after his target for revenge passed. The message of Vinland Saga is that life is about love and not about hate.
Yup, speaks of their greed and violence with disgust just as he finishes narrating a story where he kills and frames someone to inherit property. He hates the vikings but sees himself as one of them, which is why he tells Canute to lead. such a great character
And still the only "good" deeds Askeladd does is to his mother, bringing her to Wales, and then by killing the king and sacrificing himself, keeping Wales safe. Those were the only things Askeladd loved: his mother and Wales
@@isaacmendes1926 wasn’t she a princess? Anyways it’s easy said that the Vikings were barbarians. People did what they did to survive and women preferred Vikings over their own men because they groomed themselves. Times were ruff back then. But I understand that of course peace and love is better. But if you must free yourself u must.

In a way, this difference is what ended up making Thorfinn different. While Askeladd molded himself in a certain way and pursued revenge at all costs, once he achieved it, he saw no reason to change and continued down that path. Thorfinn also tried the same thing yet the fact he failed to kill Askeladd is what forced him to grow past it and change for the better,
After rewatching season 1 while being up to date with season 2 you realise that Thorfinn is turning out very similar to Askeladd, they both went through the same things yet chose completely different outcomes

I love the parallel between askeladd and thorfinn, we see askeladd killed his father in his sleep with no honor just purely revenge while thorfinn had the opportunity to kill askeladd in his sleep but had honor. I think askeladd was expecting him to do it being corrupted by revenge but noticed he didn’t, and yes he treated him poorly but saw a true warrior with him to even speak or defend him at times.
Love how the comments are like “what an honoroble man, he is the best character, he is so cool” like this loser and his crew doesnt kill-rape-plunder villages who cant even defend themselves
that’s the whole point of the show tho. to show you that life just is the way it is because of the mixed emotions we carry as we experience hardships in life. the definition of life is literally how we carry ourselves.
You're acting like people haven't loved well written villains since the beginning of time. Askeladd was nowhere near honourable, but he was a phenomenal, complex character, up there with the best in anime
And this is why Askeladd tried to give Thorfinn another path. Thorfinn simply not fit for vikings life. Asking for a duel consistently for years, never even force a duel or did an "accident" when at war, even fulfilling Askeladd conditions for a duel, basically getting his trust but never "used" that trust, what is he even doing? Yeah it's still for revenge, but that's too noble. That's no viking life, that's just something straight out of a knight's revenge story. Hell, we even repeatedly see how much Thorfinn despises war, so what is he doing, really? Honestly, I can see why it irritates Askeladd so much, lol. It's like seeing his incompetent version of his younger self.
@Grimmer His mother is one of the sons of the kings of Wales, the descendants of King Arthur, and the evidence is when he went to Wales, he went to the kingdom of Wales and said that his mother was from Wales.
I remember seeing askeladd and asking myself why he has a Roman chestplate, then they said that he was a pirate so I assumed he took it from some Roman vessel.
The girl I feel bad for, her fate was sealed one way or the other The kid too but Though, he was his half brother who he hated just as much, even though his half brother also hated their father that doesn’t mean he was much different He had a plan after that day and followed it
I love his Askeladd's backstory. Surprsingly he has a lot in common with Thorfinn. Seeking revenge above all else. They take a character you supposed to hate and make you like him. As I don't respect nor love my father I can relate to him. Especially since he is a bad person.
I haven't watched Vinland Saga yet but from this video alone tells me how favours come to play. The father was a ruthless killer but he still sees love in the strong ones like his son and is actually surprised his son will actually take revenge later. Ironically as Askeladd also becomes a ruthless killer, he spared Thorfinn for the same reason as how he saw himself in Thorfinn. A sad unbroken cycle of hatred maybe I should watch Vinland Saga just for more in-depth analysis around these characters
You should 100% wacht it. It's a "spectaculair" cycle of hatred and revenge. Then, in season 2 it breaks down the consequences and completely changes your perspective on season 1. It's beautiful
Askeladd was not a bad man. This was the viking age. He did what he could for his mother. He had love for his mother and Bjorn. Nothing and no one else had it for him. So he was ruthless. If Thors accepted being the leader, Askeladd would have been with him. I am a proud Askeladd defender.
A lot of people wouldn’t. I always been a mommas boy so if I was in the situation asksland was, maybe I would. The love him and his mother had was more purer then the bond between him and his father.
lol, his father didnt bring him in cause he felt bad for him. His father only saw him as a soldier, if he was handicapped or no use in battle probably would've killed him. Of course I wouldn't forget the first reason why I joined. To get knowledge and wait for the right time.
💀 yoo, i mean the video is good, but can’t put such a big spoiler on the title, that ain’t good bc then the people that hasn’t watched vinland saga doesn’t even have the option of watching or not watching, you essentially doing the spoiler of the whole flashback and the reason why askeladd is like that, in a title Its fine tho at least for me i already watched it but watch out on that
No matter what anyone says he is a ungrateful brat before his dad died he was ready to go into the battlefield and kill people who know might have been some one's father like his, he wanted to go the battle field where he didn't even have any enemies and kill them for what??? Enjoyment? to b3 honest he is a hypocrite. It's because he is the main character we like him later but he could have been a unreasonable villain.
Nobody had to die just because his mother had no self value. He should have known the difference and one of the reasons why this anime is nothing more than colorful caca.

Askeladd was not a bad man. This was the viking age. He did what he could for his mother. He had love for his mother and Bjorn. Nothing and no one else had it for him. So he was ruthless. If Thors accepted being the leader, Askeladd would have been with him.
I am a proud Askeladd defender.
I agree 100%

What Episode was this again?
22!
With Askelad unviel his past and back story , I know he will be died.
Woulndt this speech be considered 'task failed successfully'?
That laughs a wordy meme.
Behold the dad killer
the tru dad killer
His face had this look, like he was asking, "Why?"
For banishing and attempted murder on the woman who birthed *your* child in cold blood. That's why.
professional patricider
Lot of self hatred in this guy
Mastermind Sosuke Askeladd
Why young Askeladd look so much like Enid from Wednesday? 💀
I’ve waited 6
Why did he kill his mother??
After letting me in and treating me like a son i would’ve never did what askaladd did but thats just me
He also tried to kill his mother and then left her to live as a slave. Causing her to die later due to disease. They deserved that betrayal.
A lot of people wouldn’t. I always been a mommas boy so if I was in the situation asksland was, maybe I would. The love him and his mother had was more purer then the bond between him and his father.
lol, his father didnt bring him in cause he felt bad for him. His father only saw him as a soldier, if he was handicapped or no use in battle probably would've killed him. Of course I wouldn't forget the first reason why I joined. To get knowledge and wait for the right time.
And that's why you'd never be that guy, like Askeladd is
Stay boring
Dads killer🤣🤣
اكرة نفاقه
شاهد والدته تعاني من العبودية و بعدها جمع الفايكينج و قام بغزو القرى و فعل ما فعله والده
Ep?😊
S1, episode 22
Never judge anyone until you are able to understand what challenges he has faced in his life.💪
Interesting
Wait,thats young askalad?😮
No shit sherlock its in the fucking title
That’s the real definition of THUG(the hate you give)❤❤❤
This GREAT SCENE is a REALLY HOT FüCK✨✨✨🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵👍🏻😎👌🏻🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵✨✨✨
Bro is DIO
“They have nothing but their own greed…”
Askeladd 5 seconds earlier: “I wanted to kill him and take his property.”
Daddy issues
Madara voice is perfect ❤
💀 yoo, i mean the video is good, but can’t put such a big spoiler on the title, that ain’t good bc then the people that hasn’t watched vinland saga doesn’t even have the option of watching or not watching, you essentially doing the spoiler of the whole flashback and the reason why askeladd is like that, in a title
Its fine tho at least for me i already watched it but watch out on that
Trunks ?
Lol
the show sux without Askeladd
3:55 he had a backup sword If the girl wakes up.
His dad killed, Thofinn's dad killed, Canute's dad killed, Thorfinn's dad killed again, Askellad clearly had a hobby.
Fathers: I'm dad
Askellad: And I took that personally
So askelad kill her mother too ?
whos mom ?
@@eggocompo askelad mother ?
No
Looks like someone was not paying attention lol. That wasn't his mom. Just some random woman his dad was in bed with.
that was just a random lady
I might go full zeus and kill my son . He might do this to me lol
Not if you treat him and his mother well, that's why he killed his dad.
@@isaacmendes1926 nah you never know just kill him for good measure
Askelchad
This show is pretty stupid man i don't see any moral point of making this story It is just about some dumb revenge and mindless killing
That's the point. You'll understand when you watch season 2
That’s exactly why season 2 was made 😂
How old are you?
@@gabmans your pfp fits perfectly your comment
No matter what anyone says he is a ungrateful brat before his dad died he was ready to go into the battlefield and kill people who know might have been some one's father like his, he wanted to go the battle field where he didn't even have any enemies and kill them for what??? Enjoyment? to b3 honest he is a hypocrite.
It's because he is the main character we like him later but he could have been a unreasonable villain.
Did you watch season 2?
Dub better for vinland saga
Askeladd is the real chad!
Season 2 soooo fckn bad
Lmfao, a brainded take.
The dub is way better
young askeladd looks like gwen from into the spiderverse
Nobody had to die just because his mother had no self value. He should have known the difference and one of the reasons why this anime is nothing more than colorful caca.
Yep, you're brainded.
Chapter 210 😢
